One more day til I can call my least favourite person my EX-roommate...ahhh

But I'm not breathing any relief just yet, I have only today to pack my entire apartment into boxes and have everything ready for tomorrow morning, still trying to settle the bills, and I got told just last night that some dude is moving in Sunday morning. Not only that, she says I have to be moved out by saturday evening. So that means that my parents and auntie/uncle will only be there a few hours (worried about roads), to not just move everything into the new apartment but set it up?? HA good luck on that happening!

Man, by the time i'm done packing its gonna be time to wake up, basically!! I have nobody to help :(. My friend in the city is busy holding a party, the 3 cousins in the city im sure out packing, and no other friends offered to make a trip here to help out :(. the one that did, from 4 hrs away, has a charity event she's hosting tomorrow. and my guy has been MIA so even though I sent him messages I'd like him to come help (who's also 4 hours from here), I havent heard back from.

I keep having to take breaks because of my bad back, and such arthritis in my hand as it is that right now its wrapped up and BURNING/swollen. so i cant do a lot of carrying/lifting either.

THIS SUCKS

I'm in, not settled or unpacked but got everything here...

I have only crap internet (whatever wireless I can pick up) until monday night. I sitll have to collect money from the roommate. She still has to go in and sign off my tv/cable account.

I think tonight I'll be leaving the lights on the next couple nights so that I get used to the surroundings, this place is backwards compared to the last so if i get up during the night I'll get that panic feeling.

So much to do, no energy to do it :/

Lisa I am so glad you are safe and sound into a new place. It will be such a good move. It will be nice once you are settled in too.

Thanks! My main task for today will be putting my food in the shelves. I will be the happiest girl on earth haha. I'm going to stick all my baking stuff in the cupboards in the kitchen, and see how much room I have for everything else. I might even celebrate by baking something tonight :P. So much easier to find food in a cupboard then in a giant tote!!!

Glad the biggest part of the move is over. I hope you settling in well and enjoying the privacy and peace. Have you opened your arms spun around and gone "mine all mine" yet? :D:D:D

I think this move is going to make a huge differnce in your quality of life and I am so glad you are finally in your own place.

Hey guys. No I didn't have the time to bake just yet. BUT I did unpack most of my food.. IN THE CUPBOARDS! :D . Soooo nice putting out my flours and baking mixes and stuff like that!!! I still have to make room in the livingroom for the computer/tv guys and unpack more of my hockey stuff and whatever goes into my basically empty bedroom haha.

Once I get things sorted out I will take pictures for you guys to see just how much room I have! ;)

And the neighbours are sooo peaceful too. No distractions at all. Couldn't be better!

I am glad your living nightmare is finally over, it must be such a relief. Now you can just concentrate on school, and relax at home as well, without all the stress of being upset, worried and scared because of that horrible roommate.

I'll be taking some pics for you guys tomorrow (or I guess, today ;) ) ..got enough unpacked that u can actually understand the layout of this place.

I can tell you one thing: reading my school work is a heck of a lot easier. It's beyond highlighting and not taking in what's on the page, I am able to remember WHAT I am reading while highlighting. If that makes any sense!

Thanks :D. I've been able to get a good nights rest, too. All I got left yet really is setting up my computer desk and find a place for my books and stuff, I may just put them in the pantry since I have a lot of room in there until I get another shelf of some sort. I have such a pile of dishes it's not even funny lol So i will do those up before I photograph the place ;).

*on the side note, I'm killing time at the university until the disability office re-opens so they can make a copy of the letter for my doc appointment to show why I'm rescheduling a final*

      Hi Charlie, You sound like you have been having a rough time of it. Coeliac disease can cause a multitude of skin, mouth and throat problems. Mouth ulcers and enamel defects are well known but other oral conditions are also more common in people with coeliac disease: burning tongue, inflamed and swollen tongue, difficulty swallowing, redness and crusting in the mouth corners, and dry mouth to name but some. The link below is for paediatric dentistry but it applies to adults too.  Have you had follow up for you coeliac disease to check that your anti-tTG2 antibodies levels have come down? Are you certain that you not being exposed to significant amounts of gluten? Are you taking a PPI for your Barrett's oesophagus? Signs of changes to the tongue can be caused by nutritional deficiencies, particularly iron, B12 and B9 (folate) deficiency. I would make sure to take a good quality multivitamin every day and make sure to take it with vitamin C containing food - orange juice, broccoli, cabbage etc.  Sebaceous hyperplasia is common in older men and I can't find a link to coeliac disease.   Russ.   Oral Manifestations in Pediatric Patients with Coeliac Disease – A Review Article

      Hi @Charlie1946 You are very welcome.   I agree wholeheartedly with @knitty kitty:  "I wish doctors would check for nutritional deficiencies and gastrointestinal issues before prescribing antidepressants." I had a type of tingling/sometimes pain in my cheek about 2 years after my diagnosis.  I noticed it after standing in cold wind, affecting  me after the event - for example, the evening after standing outside, I would feel either tingling or stabbing pain in my cheek.   I found using a neck roll seemed to help, reducing caffeine, making sure I was well-hydrated, taking B12 and C vitamins and magnesium.  Then when the lockdowns came and I was using a facemask I realised that this pain was almost entirely eliminated by keeping the wind off my face.  I think looking back I was suffering from a type of nerve pain/damage.  At the time read that coeliacs can suffer from nerve damage caused by nutritional deficiencies and inflammation, and there was hope that as bodywide healing took place, following the adoption of a strict gluten free diet and addressing nutritional deficiencies, recovery was possible.   During this time, I used to spend a lot of time outdoors with my then young children, who would be playing in the park, and I'd be sheltering my face with an upturned coat collar, trying to stay our of the cold wind!  It was during this time a number of people with a condition called Trigeminal Neuralgia came up to me and introduced themselves, which looking back was nothing short of miraculous as I live in a pretty sparsely populated rural community and it is quite a rare condition.   I met a number of non-coeliacs who had suffered with this issue  and all bar one found relief in taking medication like amitriptyline which are type of tricyclic anti-depressant.   They were not depressed, here their doctors had prescribed the drugs as pain killers to address nerve pain, hence I mention here.  Nerve pain caused by shingles is often treated with this type of medication in the UK too, so it is definitely worth bearing in mind if standard pain killers like aspirin aren't working.
